It's more than just global warming and I didn't say the cause was corruption (though I cannot rule that possibility out). I just said California did not provide clean tap water for everyone. Nevertheless, governmental failure of one kind or another is a huge and important reason for California's tap water problems. The fact that there is government provided bottled water in some places should not be looked upon as good management or a success story. It's a bandaid on a broken system and a statewide failure to manage and provide safe water resources and infrastructure. The the appropriations bill you mention does not make up for the years of failure to provide clean, contaminant free tap water on an equal basis to all communities statewide. And even if it succeeds across the state in every community, it will take years to actually fix all of the tap water problems. Five days ago, The NY Times reported As many as 1,000 community water systems in California may be at high risk of failing to deliver potable water — one out of every three — according to a previously undisclosed estimate by senior officials at the California State Water Resources Control Board: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/24/us/the-crisis-lurking-in-californians-taps-how-1000-water-systems-may-be-at-risk.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/24/us/the-crisis-lurking-in-...
